To "Mom" Pitts From: Glenda George

Me and many other young girls were daughters to you in the International Order of Rainbow for Girls. I remember a lot about you, but t he thing I remember most is the year my mother went to heaven, I went to your house to be near some kind of a mother. I spent a few hours with you and went places with you in Baytown that day. I never knew you passed, but I can see the beauty in god's mercy. You are up there with my mother Ellen George who was one of your closest friends. I always considered you a mother. Till me meet, god be with you till we meet again. I love you my forever mother on the Rainbow to heaven. you were more than a mother avisor, but a mother in every way to all of us. Thank you Mom. Tell my own birth mother and my father I love them. Till we meet again, I love you.

I visited you after my mother died, and that mother daughter relationship was still there. I love you mom Pitts. See you when I get there. Tell my parents I said hello and give dad pitts a hug for me. I love you, thank you for being a mother even in my older years. I hadn't seen you in years but we got together and it was as if we were just taking up where we left off but older. Thank you. God be with you till we meet again.

May the circle be unbroken, by and by lord by and by

From one of your life daughters you got in Rainbows long ago. Mom Pitts I love you, the last time I saw you was right after mom died in 08 and dad pitts was still there. It is good knowing you as a mother, the years and days didn't sever our closeness, after years of not seeing you.

From one of your life daughters you got in Rainbows long ago. Mom Pitts I love you, the last time I saw you was right after mom died in 08 and dad pitts was still there. It is good knowing you as a mother, the years and days didn't sever our closeness, after years of not seeing you. My mother's death caused me to come to your house and sit over coffee and memories of rainbow sleep overs at your home. you took me to a store and we gossiped and had fun just taking life in that day. I left and didn't visit again. I asked about you from another rainbow mother and she said you had joined Dad pits in heaven. I love you, tell my mom and dad I love them. I'll see you in the rapture Mom pitts.

Ernestine was dear friend that will be dearly missed. My prayers and thoughts are with the family as they pass through these difficult times.

When I think of Aunt Ernie, I think of her infectious laugh, it just makes me smile. She was such a loving person and would do anything for you and she wanted to do anything for you. I will miss her dearly as our whole family will. We are so blessed to have such wonderful memories of her and we have so many things she has made for us through the years that we will always cherish (quilts, flower arrangements, christams decoration, ceramics etc). May God give all of you peace during this difficult time.

Carl and Ernestine were long-time friends of my parents Tuffy and Maxine Hutchinson and were our "backyard" neighbors as our yards connected at an angle. Growing up, we "kids" often played croquet or tossed a basketball at the goal Dad had mounted on the utility pole. Ernestine was a serious but very thoughtful, loving and kind person. In the sixties, she and Carl bought the old upright piano handed down to us from Dad's grandmother Hawkins in Tulsa. I was

Carl and Ernestine were long-time friends of my parents Tuffy and Maxine Hutchinson and were our "backyard" neighbors as our yards connected at an angle. Growing up, we "kids" often played croquet or tossed a basketball at the goal Dad had mounted on the utility pole. Ernestine was a serious but very thoughtful, loving and kind person. In the sixties, she and Carl bought the old upright piano handed down to us from Dad's grandmother Hawkins in Tulsa. I was a little sad but knew that the Pitts family would take care of it. Two years ago, Ernestine got in touch with me through Carl Jr and offered the piano back for the original $100 she had paid. I was thrilled....and it has a special place in my home now. The noise my grandkids create banging on that piano is the loveliest music to me................despite how irritated their folks get listening to it! We love you, Ernestine. Thank you so much for your friendship and affection. We'll miss you.
